After playing around with one kind of technology and failing early, we have decided to move on. I have used the word failing, but essentially we haven't failed, we are just investing too much time in this technology, which we think is not worth it, since working with this technology has a number of non-technical challenges which we are taking too much time to solve.
So after having intense discussions we have decided to pursue another couple of ideas, out of which one will be built right away. Since I don't have enough time on my hands, we have decided to implement one idea right away, and work on refining the other one in parallel. We have learnt a lot during the past 6 months. It took us ages to decide on one idea after discussing many. This time we had already a lot of ideas and it did not take us a long time to narrow down our idea list to a couple. For one of the ideas, we already have the technology figured out as well. So now, the exciting part of building our product starts.
Our strategy is to have one idea that is quick to prototype, solves a problem and is scalable. Our second idea is more of an innovative product which we will probably crowd source. So the goal is to make sure that by the time my sabbatical ends, I have a product that has started selling. This will allow me and my partner to come into this full time as both of us have our day jobs.
